Everyone is hearing the buzz about the benefits of Omega-3s and one of the best sources for the good stuff is Salmon.
Sure, you can leave it plain and bake it, but why not make it saucy and exciting? This is one of my favorite recipes because it’s literally bursting with flavor, it’s salty and a little sweet (always a winning combo!) plus has great immunity boosting ingredients like garlic and ginger. That little kick of red pepper flakes will get your metabolism all revved up.
Healthy deliciousness has been served!
Happy Spring! You know what that means? Summer is right around the corner; and if summer is right around the corner, then so is beach season. The old me used to work myself into a tizzy about getting into bikini shape; this included fad diets, over-exercising, and an obscene amount of time spent searching for cellulite in the mirror.

If you ask me, this is backward thinking.
You have to love who you are today to become someone who you will authentically desire to be tomorrow.
There is no shortcut, loophole, or VIP ticket to being someone who can shine the light of a person who embodies wholeness and all-around, inside-and-outside awesomeness. (more…) read more →
First of all, start small. Go to the pool with friends who you feel good around. Go to the beach or pool with your sister or closest friend. Once you’re there, laugh a lot, and focus on having as much fun as humanly possible. Last summer, I bought a ridiculous neon bathing suit, got crazy fake nails with really expensive nail art, and blasted my favorite hip hop songs at my uncle’s pool with my closest girlfriend until we got in trouble with the neighbors. That’s when I realized I love the pool, and am certainly not gonna let a few extra pounds (**in my head**) keep me away. (more…) read more →
